Maybe some don't care, but the vast majority of them do. In a situation where a Defendant has been charged with Domestic Violence and an alleged victim doesn't want the Defendant to be prosecuted, sometimes the best strategy in a case is for the alleged victim to tell the prosecutor face to face. The only thing that prosecutors normally see before a trial setting in a misdemeanor case is statements on paper. When a prosecutor reads a statement made by police officer, it is going to be presented in a fashion that makes the officer's decision look good. It is just human nature. Prosecutors deal with a wide range of cases, some are very serious, others are not serious at all, but sometimes the line between these cases gets blurred. When a prosecutor sits down with an alleged victim and the alleged victim tells them face to face about the incident, it can help the Defendant's case in some situations. Defendant's need an attorney with experience in Domestic Violence cases to evaluate the total situation, and the best strategy may include the alleged victim telling the prosecutor about what happened.
